Question: Using the new relationship from Austroads ( 2 0 1 7 ) , calculate the expected fatigue life ( in ESA ) of an asphalt

Using the new relationship from Austroads (2017), calculate the
expected fatigue life (in ESA) of an asphalt layer with total bitumen
content of 11% by volume and modulus of 3000 MPa under a quad-axle
(QADT) assembly. Circly modelling with an 80 kN SADT produces a
bottom tensile strain of 0.000075. The desired project reliability of 95%
and the shift factor is 6.
